Crochet Mood Blanket - week 9

This is my crochet mood blanket so far. Despite it being quiet here on the blog I have kept up my crocheting - at least with this blanket!

Week 4: Second row, second from the right - four small squares in Aussie colours for Australia Day.

Week 5: Two big squares - pink & multi-color blue and greens.

Week 6: Four small dark grey squares with crosses in the middle - because we needed to take the little man to the hospital this week to get some fluids into him.

Week 7: Big multi-color square in bright happy colors for visiting a friend and a splash of pink for Valentine's Day. Also the four small beige/brown squares just because I felt like testing that color scheme out!

Week 8: Big square at the start of the third row. Colors inspired by The Block and the twins' hotel room artwork. I would have used light/mid grey on the walls, lots of white and light colored timber furniture (birch) and splashes of green. A pretty scandi palette with the green accent color inspired by new birch leaves.

Week 9: Four mini squares in bright colors - Spotlight had a good special on for 100% wool and I bought lots of bright colors.

Now I'm working on some black & white squares. Let's see how they turn out - stay tuned!

#CrochetMoodBlanket2014 challenge

A lovely crafty challenge for the year 2014. Started by @mummy_stacey on Instagram the challenge soon got hundreds of people interested. Now there are over 2500 members from all over the world in the Facebook group.

The idea is to make a blanket consisting of a square a day (or week) and using different colours to reflect your mood. I have set myself a minimum for each week, which is at least one big or four mini squares per week. I am not restricting myself at all so I'm allowed to crochet as many squares as I want.

I will try to post my progress every Sunday.

#FMSphotoaday challenge

This is a yearly photo challenge created by Fat Mum Slim where the idea is to take a photo every day based on the word/theme given for each day. Themes for the next month will be given on the last Monday of the current month.

I have decided to take my photos mostly with my mobile purely for practical reasons. I will try to post the photos every day.
